To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. Pass, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Flushing, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collar or Scarf Studs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to collar and scarf studs in which the retaining head is connected to the stem of the stud by a ball and socket joint to facilitate applying and removin g the collar, and to hold it securely, and it consists in the improvements in the construction of such studs hereinafter described and claimed whereby the stud is rendered more efiicient in use and may be operated with greater facility.

Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1, is a sectional elevation of my improved collar and scarf stud adjust-ed for inserting the retaining head in the button hole of the collar or scarf. Fig.2, is a sectional elevation of the same showing the position to which the retaining head is first shifted after inserting it through the button hole. Fig. 3, is a sectional elevation showing the ultimate position of the retaining head for securing the collar or scarf when attached thereto. Figs. 4, 5 and 6 are similar views respectively showing the socket of the stem offset from the axial line of the stem as it may be to favor the adjustment of the retaining head for insorting through the button hole. Figs. 7 and 8 are sectional elevations showing the retaining head in the form of a disk instead of the tongue lever shape as in the rest of the figures.

In the first place I make the socket a, in the end of the stem b instead of making it in the head and connect the ball 0 with the back or under side of the retaining head cl, by the short stem 6, with a slot f in the socket for stem 6, parallel with the axis of the main stem 1) of the stud and extending a little more than a quarter of a circle from the apex or outermost extremity of the ball toward the base g of the stud. Together with the retaining head thus connected to the stem I construct said head with a notch h,in the flanged inner edge '5, of the head tolap on and partly around the stem in such close relation that the button hole edge cannot catch under the edge of the retaining head when it is adjusted for detaching the collar from the stud (see Figs. 1, 4 and 7), as is the case when the ball is formed on the stem and the socket in the retaining head, because the edge of the head cannot in such construction lap so close on the stem.

It is preferred to make the retaining head in the elongated tongue form with one short and one long member in extension from the point where the ball is attached as in Figs. 1 to 6 inclusive, but it may be made in the disk form of Figs. 7 and 8.

When the tongue head has been inserted through the button hole the head will be first turned up in the position represented in Figs. 2 and 5, to efiectually clear the short member from the collar, and then will be turned point downward as in Figs. 3 and 6 by rotating the ball in which position the stem e is stopped against turning upward by the end wall of the slot in the socket, while the long member extends downward in a position from which it cannot be displaced except by turning upward which is not liable to occur by the operations of use, because of the gravitating action of the long member, and thus effectually secure the collar.

The socket may be offset to one side of the stem as in Figs. 4, 5 and 6.

In connection with the retaining head thus constructed and arranged I make the stem 1), of elliptic or oblong shape in cross section onabling it to prevent the stud from turning in the button hole and thus to keep the slotof the socket downward, which prevents the lever tongue from being shifted upward in use and becoming unfastened, as might happen if the stem were round so that the stud could turn.

It will be seen that in consequence of the ball being rigidly attached to the head the liability of the head to shift along the ball and lose the retaining effect of the short memher, as when the ball is on the stem, and the head is necessarily made to shift along it for releasing the button, is avoided, and it will also be seen that the stem of the ball lodging against theupper end of slot f, when the head is in the normal position'is a further means of effectually preventing accidental release :of thejbutton asin theiease of humanshm/ ing'tlhe ball on the stem, andtheheadafljus't -substantially as'described; V
